Whats you and your friends level of experience? Are you suitably
equiped and know how to use it? Would you or whoever is leading be
happy to take up a group in awful conditions/at night on mountains
where a navigational error could be fatal?
From your question, I suspect the answere is no. I`m not knocking the
Three Peaks, i`ve done it myself but suspect you would have a safer
and more enjoyable time doing it in say, June/July when there is no
need to walk in the dark and the weather should be better. If you do
decide to do it, do Nevis in the light.
(Of course it goes without saying that you will have two drivers, not
count the motorway driving/speed, be well equiped, leave the residents
of Wasdale in peace, etc...)
